Ashley Hill overbridge: the view towards Montpelier tunnel. The tunnel curves, and if you look carefully, you can see the shine on the railheads where light is coming through from the other end. #Bristol #railway #ashleydown #ashleyhill #montpelier #tunnel (at Ashley Down)

The view from Ashley Hill overbridge. The signal in the distance stands at the approximate site of Ashley Hill Junction, where the Midland line to Kingswood Junction and thence Mangotsfield diverged. Despite a new signalbox being provided there in 1959, the junction was removed in 1965 and the signalbox closed in 1966 with the line being singled around 1970. The signal there now protects Narroways Hill Junction. #Bristol #railway #track #ashleydown #ashleyhill #signal (at Ashley Down)
